The invention relates to lubricating pumps and mainly to lubricating pumps of that type wherein a 'plurality of pressure pumps are arranged in a circle about a power shaft and wherein by a corresponding number of pipe conduits the oil is supplied to the appropriate lubricating channels. This Well known type of lubricating pumps ofers particular advantages', inasmuch as in this Way the space for operating the individual pumps is completely utilized In some respects, however, it is accompanied with certain structural diliiculties, inasmuch as the continuation of the individual lubricating conduits is relatively diiii'cult of arrangement, 1f they cannotall be placed adjacent to each other in a single plane. For lthis reason, Where lubricatingr pumps of this type have been heretofore employed, the individual pipe nipples arranged in a circle, which form the exit openings of the pumps, have been connected by individual correspondingly arched pipe conduits with the appropriate ends of the lubricatingr channels arranged adjacentto each other, for instance, in a single plane. By this expedient., the purpose is attained, it is true, of preserving the advantageous type of pump and the relation of the power shaft to the lubricatingr channels. but nevertheless the installation of thc various pipe connections is disproportionately expensive and, inasnnich as the auxiliary devices. such as couplings and the like. whereby thepipes are connected with the pump nipples and with the ends of the lubricating rliannels project to a relatively greater height. the device requires a corresilionflingly large amount ot spare.

The present invention consists in intellposing between the pump and the lubricatinncharirolsr a listril'niting plate which is ot such charfwtf'r that it manv he rf-'muv'tcd `liret-ily to the lu'inicatingf pump. and .vhit'l' is traversed by vchazuuls corresponding in lar parte throughout the several views. g1

vthe pumps i@ are so arranged number to the pumps. These channels are so arranged that they join the connecting portions 0I" the pump boots Wi'th those of the corresponding lubricating channels,

In the drawings, Figure i represents the top plan View oft' the distributing plate, with the pump removed; Fig. 2 'represents a top plan view o the base plate of the distributer afterthe removal of the cover plate thereof g Fig. 3 represents a section taken on a plane e indicated by the line 3-3 of Fig. 2; and Fi in i represents a section`taken on e, plane icated by the line 4f-4 of Fig. it. Similar letters of reference indicate simi- Referring to the drawings, it will be noted that the distributer consists of a base plate el, which may cest in a single piece and in Whose upper surface e number of open grooves g are so arranged 'that their inner ends are located in a circle and all their outer ends in e long curve, or, say, a straight. line.. At places, internally screw' threaded apertures j are provided 'for the attachment of *the lubricating; pipes.

Upon the base plete [t e, cover plate is fastened by means of plate beinga provided with The apertures c are that they register W grooves g in the base plate, The aperture.

a ycircular flange vfh of1 attachment for the the pump itself. Within the oil each aperture c ot the cover plate i, one oli the pump boots is located. The motor shaft. l can be introduced through a hole in the plates fl and t), which hole be made in the middle of the circle formed by the apertures c. The pump is like that disclosed in 'United States Letters Patent No. Ql, granted to me on 4llpril Q6, will lt is obvious that the relative arrangementof the plates b and Z may be reversed if desired.
